This is the sixth book in a series about my favorite fictional family, The O'Malleys. 'Abby' is currently in the top 100 ranking on Amazon in both Erotic Action & Adventure and Erotic BDSM. .

Connor McCabe recognized Abby as someone who needed looking after from the moment he met her and immediately appointed himself her protector. A former Navy Seal, used to being respected and obeyed, it wasn’t long before he was taking her in hand, determined to instill some sense into her beautiful head. In his opinion, Abby was a little wild, drank too much and was entirely too confident in her martial arts skills. Abigail Stevens’s diminutive size was one of the reasons she pursued her back belt. A girl had to know how to take care of herself in today’s world. She was proud of her accomplishments, even if her overgrown G.I. Joe didn’t take her seriously. Sure he was stronger and when he pulled her over his knees there wasn’t much doubt who was in charge, but that didn’t mean she wasn’t capable. It just meant that she was crazy about the dominant man, or maybe just plain crazy. In her mind the jury was still out. When danger threatens Abby and those she holds dear, Connor and the other men in the O’Malley’s tight-knit circle do everything in their power to protect their women. As frustration and tensions mount the power struggle between Abby and Connor escalates, putting their entire relationship at risk until a hero makes a move, one that will change everything.

Excerpt: “What about me?” he demanded roughly. “Do you think if something happens to you, if I allow something to happen to you, I’ll just go on? No regrets? No lasting scars? Is that what you imagine?” “Of course not,” she insisted, “but nothing’s going to happen to me. I’m going to take this prick down, Connor, one way or another.” “What makes you so sure you can do this?” he said, walking away from her and beginning to pace. “And don’t even tell me about your black belt,” he snapped. “I know how you feel about that, but this guy’s not you, Connor. He’s not military trained. He’s not Special Forces. He’s a drunk and a bully, and he gets off on terrorizing women. He’s stupid, and I can outsmart him. I’m younger and faster, and I’m not afraid, at least not for myself.” “How can you say that, Abby?” Connor demanded, still shaking his head in the negative. “What if this guy has a gun?” he yelled, turning back to her. “Doesn’t that scare you?” “No.” “Why the fuck not?” he roared facing her with his hands planted firmly on his hips. “Because so do I,” she said softly, never taking her eyes from his. Connor was speechless. It was true, just the tone of her voice told him that. But where had she gotten a gun? When? He’d been with her nearly every moment since this started. How in the hell did this get by him?

﻿The Trouble With Abby﻿ is available on Amazon, Barnes & Nobel and Blushing Books as well as other distribution sites.

Kyra Thornton is in serious trouble. Her former boss has disappeared after stealing every dime from the company's trust account and framing her for the theft, so when the FBI offers her a way to prove her innocence and escape prosecution, she hesitantly agrees. All she has to do is go undercover, take a job working for billionaire technology entrepreneur Jake Harmon, and find evidence to prove the FBI’s claims that he masterminded the crime. There's just one catch: Jake is a Dom, and he’s looking for someone who can be both afinancial officer for his company and the perfect sub for him. Kyra has never been a sub--or wished to be one—but under the circumstances she is left with little choice, and she soon finds herself stripped bare and on her knees awaiting Jake’s every command. To make matters worse, her new master quickly proves more than ready to punish any disobedience with a long, hard, deeply humiliating spanking. But to Kyra’s shock, Jake’s firm-handed dominance and skillful mastery of her body leaves her not only blushing with shame and aroused far beyond anything she's ever experienced before, it also leaves her yearning for more. It isn't long before she feels a growing need to submit both her body and her heart to the dark, mysterious billionaire. But when the time comes to fulfill the bargain that kept her out of prison, can she trust Jake to protect her, or will she cast aside her new-found love to save herself?Here's an excerpt from Kalista's hot new romance:

“Take off the rest of your clothes.”

Her cheeks flushed but she did as she was told, trembling a little, eyes downcast the entire time. She dropped the bra and her hands moved to the nipple rings.

“Not those,” he said.

He saw the look of dismay on her face, but she never protested. She bent forward to unhook the garters. Slipping off her shoes and balancing on one foot, then the other, she peeled the stockings off. Finally she reached behind her and unhooked the lace garter belt, letting it fall to the floor.

He let her stand there for a moment under the bright lights of the lab, naked, and just stared. Her body was beautiful. Full, lush breasts, narrow waist, hips that flared out.

“Come here and lie across my lap.”

As she walked toward him, the portions of her brain that registered fear and anxiety responded strongly. But so did the center for arousal. She put oneknee on the sofa, awkwardly supporting her weight with her hands as she draped herself across his lap.

Her body was warm and soft and when she let her full weight rest on him, he felt his own body respond. Without thinking, he stroked her bare ass and ground himself up against her, just a little. Harmon didn’t need a machine to tell the instant she felt his cock pressing up, hard and ready. Her sharp intake of breath did that.

Grabbing her wrists with one hand and holding them out in front of her, he smacked her bottom sharply with the flat of his palm. The computer screen exploded in lights. He started spanking her steadily, firm but not too hard at first, watching with clinical detachment as her lovely bottom turned pink.

He spanked harder and it took on a darker shade of red. As it did, her pain centers on the monitor glowed brighter and brighter. Her fingers dug into the fabric of the sofa but she never moved or made a sound.

He wanted more, wanted to see what she’d do once he broke her tight control. He shifted his legs a little and spanked her slowly, sensuously, rubbing the hard bulge in his pants back and forth across her wet slit with every whack. A soft moan escaped her lips. The sensors recorded a huge spike in endorphins. The pleasure centers of her brain were sending off fireworks.

Harmon smiled to himself.

“Get down on your knees in front of me,” he demanded, letting go of her wrists.

A note from Kalista:

Bared by the Billionaire is my newest erotic romance. I had a great time telling the story of Kyra Thornton and her initiation into the dark world of BDSM by sexy scientist/inventor and Dom, Jake Harmon. He’s got some surprises for Kyra, including wild sex/tech toys he invented that he’ll use on her as he introduce her to his domination.

A Sweet and Sassy MatchMatch Me If You DareMatched For KeepsandThe Last Match.

Here's an excerpt from Book 3, Matched For Keeps.

Frozen where she was, Sue wiped the wide-eyed expression off her face and forced her dry lips into a shaky smile. Wow, this was not supposed to happen; he was supposed to be drooling over her, not the other way around. Her tummy tightened visibly and Marcus surely noticed it, she realized, as she felt moisture leaking down her thigh. He was growing larger and harder right before her eyes and she was still unable to move a step in any direction as she watched. Breaking the stalemate, Marcus strode across the room and pulled her to him, his erection now upright and nestled against her stomach, hot and hard. "Are we good?" he asked softly, inhaling her fragrance and smelling her arousal with pleasure. "Oh, we're good," Sue assured him as her arms crept around his neck. "Good," he replied. "I'd hate to think I was a disappointment to you," he teased, lightly running his hand up the inside of her thigh and finding what he sought. "Oh you're very funny," she sighed, biting his earlobe sharply. "I believe you promised me mind-numbing sex and so far all I've gotten are promises." "I also promised you erotic spanking and you're about to get your first taste of that my girl," he laughed, tightening his arms around her and lifting her from the floor. "Spanking? Really? Come on," she groaned in frustration. "I don't want a spanking. You know what I want." "And you shall have it my love, but first things first," he insisted, setting her down next to the bed and sitting. Marcus pulled her resisting body over his knee, her upper torso resting comfortably on the bed as he positioned her to his satisfaction. He kept her legs separated, and his knee between them as he rubbed his hand over her bottom, adoringly. Sue put both fists under her chin, determined to ignore it as best she could. She'd signed on for this and could hardly complain at this point, but she was damned disappointed in how this was playing out so far. Marcus, noticing her pouting, gave her a sharp slap covering both cheeks with his large hand and causing her to gasp in surprise. "Oh, this is real erotic," she drawled sarcastically. "It can be if you'll just lose the attitude and behave," he replied giving her another slightly painful swat. "Yeah for you," she shot back, not even trying to keep her temper under control. "Or it can turn into something else entirely. Your choice, Red. I plan on enjoying every second of this, regardless. You just go ahead and think it over," he offered, giving her yet another crisp slap on her rapidly heating bottom. "Oh all right," she sighed, snagging a pillow from the top of the bed to rest her head on. "Just get it over with so we can move on to more pleasant activities, if you don't mind," she sniffed. Marcus laughed loudly as he began to pepper her pink bottom with rhythmic spanks that were not quite painful, but certainly capable of producing heat. He had no intention of hurrying as she'd asked and intended to make the most of his incredible luck. He had an absolutely gorgeous woman over his lap, was turning her delectable backside pinker with each swat and she was compliant, for the most part. Occasionally she kicked her feet a little or squeaked out an "ow," but each and every time he paused to rub her sweet warm ass, she moaned in pleasure, lifting her bottom into his hand. His knee was soaked with her juices and she could deny it till the end of time, but she was right there with him. Marcus gathered her slippery essence on his long fingers, sliding over her bottom hole to gauge her reaction, and she moaned into the pillow even as she tried unsuccessfully to wiggle away. Excellent, he thought as he battled his own urges, afraid he would come against her tummy at her reaction. Most women who enjoyed spanking were also anal erotic and he planned to explore this territory further. For now he would savor the treasure he had at hand. "For someone who doesn't enjoy a good spanking, you're very responsive," he remarked casually, keeping the smile out of his voice. "Go to hell," she shot back, and was rewarded with three astounding smacks that had her chanting "sorry, sorry, sorry" immediately. "That's okay, Red, you're forgiven," he replied, soothing the handprints in a gentle manner as she sighed in relief. To prove the truth of his words, he slipped his hand between her legs, and rubbed her little clit gently. When she cried out and pushed against his hand, he lingered but for a moment before slipping lower and impaling her fully on his long tapered finger. Marcus caught his breath and tried to assemble his own thoughts as he held perfectly still inside her hot, tight sheath. It was nearly unbearable pleasure and when she began humping his hand, each downward thrust brushed her tummy firmly against his own raging hard on. Pulling himself from the brink of disaster, his finger plunged in and out of her, concentrating on her every whimper and moan. When he felt her begin to tighten around him even more, he removed his finger and resumed slapping her bottom with just enough gusto to distract her from her approaching orgasm. "Marcus!' she screamed in frustration. "Be still my sweet, all in due time. I want to make sure you get the full benefit from your very first spanking of this kind."Susan growled and beat her fists into her pillow. "I was just about to get the full benefit until you snatched it away from me," she spat, glaring at him over her shoulder, her eyes filled with tears. "Aw, honey, I'm sorry," he told her, gentling his swats as soon as he realized how emotional she'd become. "If I take my arm from around your waist, do you promise to stay exactly as I've placed you?" "Yes," she agreed hopefully. "Anything you say." "All right, don't make me sorry I trusted you," he firmly stated as he removed his arm. Sue stayed in position as he continued spanking her bottom with very gentle slaps that produced a rapidly building heat inside her. After several minutes he lifted her slightly and slipped his hand beneath her tummy, purposely pushing his dick out of the way. Inching his hand lower he used his fingers to separate her slippery lips and lay his thick middle finger directly on her clit. Each slap on her bottom pushed her firmly against it, and she began rocking with the rhythm he set for her. Her cries echoed his slaps, but she never once asked him to stop and shortly she was pleading mindlessly for release, promising a million things she wasn't aware of. Finally, unsure how much longer he could hang on, he gave her three very hard spanks just before plunging two fingers into her weeping core. Susan screamed and convulsed around him, her contractions so violent it was all he could do to keep her sandwiched between his hands. His one finger gently moved against her clit and his others kept up a steady pistoning pattern as she contracted around them and howled her release. Marcus slowed, whispering endearments she never heard as she came back to herself. Relaxing over his knee was unexpectedly comfortable until his hand cracked her ass again and his finger moved to the very top of her clit and began tapping. "No," she howled, but he would not be dissuaded. "Be a good girl and come again for me," he encouraged her, and within a few seconds she was on her way to another orgasm, pinned securely between his hands. The second his slaps stopped and he penetrated her, she exploded again much more powerfully than the first, her guttural cries echoing through the room. There was no spanking during the third orgasm, just his gentle prodding of the special spot inside of her as he tapped on her clit until she flooded his hand, quivering mindlessly. Marcus helped her off his lap and positioned her boneless body on her back on the bed. "Where are you going? Sue asked hoarsely as he walked away. "To get a condom," he replied softly. "You don't need one," she told him sitting up and brushing her tangled hair off her face. "I've got the Dr. Mike seal of approval and I'm on the pill." Marcus immediately pivoted and dove for the bed. "God does it get any better than this?" he asked, pushing her back down and resting his forehead against hers. "I don't think so," she said with sincerity, gently stroking his cheeks. Marcus bent and took her nipple into his mouth and Susan began to rethink her statement as he scooped one arm under her ass, arched and seated himself to the hilt inside her hot wet pussy with one firm thrust. "Oh baby," he moaned as he began to move, "yes, yes it does." His words from the night of the party came back to Susan: "loved to near insanity in the bedroom." Well, the man was not a liar, she admitted, and it was her last coherent thought for a long while.

Rosa Collins was only sixteen when she received a vision telling her of her future husband.Knowing that her husband would be Lucas, the Bishop's son, and future Bishop of Green Valley, both thrilled and terrified her. They were a match made in heaven, she knew, perfect foreach other.But becoming the Bishop's Wife is harder than Rosa anticipated. She struggles to transformherself into the perfect Bishop's Wife that her husband needs.Lucas misses the real Rosa. Somewhere between getting married, and becoming the futureBishop's wife, his beloved wife has lost part of herself. Lucas knows that a good, old fashioned spanking is exactly what Rosa needs to help her find balance in her unrealistic expectations of what the perfect wife should be. But, try as he might, that balance doesn't come easily for Rosa, and it certainly didn't help that her high school nemesis kept popping up and making trouble.

Will Lucas help her realize that all he wants is for his wife to be happy? Can Rosa pull herself together enough to become the Bishop's First Wife?

Excerpt: He crossed to the bed and sat, calling her over to stand before him.“Are you ready?” Rosa nodded shyly, and he saw no sense in drawing it out. He positioned her over one knee,so that her top half was on the bed, and her legs were not. With one swift flick of his wrist, her panties were around her knees and her cute little bottom was right where he wanted it. He rubbed her white flesh, thinking that it wouldn’t be white for long as he intended to make this a well and thorough spanking. “Why did you ask me to spank you, Rosa?” he asked, and she looked back at him surprised. He guessed she wasn’t expecting to be having a conversation in this position, but Lucas knew it would be the first of many they would have like this. In his opinion, it was one of the best ways to have a conversation. “I’m waiting,” He told her with a sharp slap to her right bottom cheek. “Ow, Ow, Okay, Um...Because I felt like I should be punished for spending a lot of money without asking you-even though it wasn’t a rule!” He spanked again just as she got to the end of her explanation, and she shrieked the last part He brought his hand down hard twice in rapid succession, and smiled in satisfaction as he watched a pink hand-print color her creamy skin. “And, why did you think you should be punished for something that wasn’t a rule?” He rubbed the skin where the hand-print rose up, marveling at how warm it already was after just a few swats. It would be getting much, much warmer before they finished. “Because I was inconsiderate, and I caused you embarrassment, and I hate disappointing you.” Rosa mumbled into the bed-covers. “That’s’ right. That’s why we are going to be making it a rule. So that this does not happen in the future. If it does, there will be clear consequences.” He began to spank again, raining down blows across her fleshy bottom crease. He kept an even tempo, with no regular pattern until he heard her begin to weep softly. He knew it was more from emotion than pain at this point, but it meant she was getting the release she needed. He paused, and began to speak, occasionally punctuating his words with a sharp swat across the top of her thighs, causing her to gasp in pain.

I just wanted to take a moment to thank all the readers who leave a review. I know it can be time consuming and we are all busy but it really means a lot to struggling authors. It's also a way to let us know if we are connecting in a meaningful way.

So far my readers have been so very supportive and I'm humbled by their kind words.

Hello all, just finished reading this book and it was AWESOME!!!! But ALL of Stevie MacFarlane's book's are!! She bring's such life into each of her characters and makes you feel like you're right there with them. Connor and Abby's story, watching them both learn and discover so much about themselves and what they want from each other was beautiful. Both set in their own ways yet willing to love each other enough to compromise and understand each other's need to be who they are was great. The O'Malley family, their love for one another and their willingness to protect and care for each other as a family unit is awesome. The men, dominant, over protective but loving and the women (who alway's manage to get into trouble) loving, understanding and submissive each in their own way also awesome..If you have the chance and love a strong family unit and take charge men these books are for you. I highly recommend this entire series from start to finish. You won't be disappointed!!! You'll laugh, you'll feel, you'll love.... ENJOY!!!!!

5.0 out of 5 starsStevie MacFarlane Does It AgainBy Mary Keenen on November 23, 2014Format: Kindle EditionI just love the way this author writes DD. The romance is the main part of her stories along with love and respect. These women are strong and intelligent but love their men passionately. She has a wonderful sense of humor and has you laughing out loud at the mischief the main character gets into, in this instance is Abby. Connor and Abby have great chemistry and I know you will enjoy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nobody does DD books quite like Stevie MacfarlaneBy KJD on November 22, 2014Format: Kindle Edition Verified PurchaseThis book has all the elements that make up a great story. Smoking hot sex, fantastic spankings, a wide variety of punishments and wonderful well written characters that bring it all to life. One part of the story was so funny (misuse of a stun gun) I had tears rolling down my face. If you love DD spanking books this family is for you. Each book is a stand alone, but the author writes so well that you will want to read all the books in the series.

I love Stevie's writing and have bought and read every book in her series. I've become vested in the characters. While they can be stand alone, I feel connected more with the characters since I read in order. Getting to meet Abby and her interactions with Conner in the previous books made this more enjoyable; also helped to understand Jack. I find I'm disappointed in a lot of "spank" books because they aren't written with the love behind them, like Stevie's are. Only disappointment for me was that I read it too fast. Hope she's working on another!!!5.0 out of 5 starsAbsolutely GreatBy Nonni on December 4, 2014Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase

This is a wonderful edition to the series. I've been waiting for Abby and Connor's story to continue and I was not the least bit disappointed. Ms. MacFarlane has a wonderful ability to bring these characters alive in all of her books. In The Trouble With Abby, we get to see the relationship that began in an instant attraction grow between Abby, a feisty woman who is looking for love and yet will not give up her independence and Connor, a gorgeous alpha male who knows how to take care of his own - be that turn her across his knee or help her to find everything she needs to be fulfilled. This book brings in all the characters of the series to the point that you wish you were related to them. It is a loving, funny, romantic and sexy story that I highly recommend to anyone who likes spankings and love that is true and deep. Very well done.5.0 out of 5 stars 5 Best book and all the others are tooBy Amazon Customer on November 23, 2014Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase

Can an undercover spy save the women he loves without blowing his cover? SF EroticA spy working for the Solarian Federation...Michael O'Malley is undercover in a sting operation against Jerold Laricon, a man with Machiavellian social restructuring schemes and a desire for world domination.

Kidnapped and kept as a sex slave...Could there be a worse time for Nina Stanley, O’Malley’s old flame, to show up in Ligeia asa kidnap victim? Sure, he wants to save her, but his job is to crush Laricon's slave trade and

vicious rise to power.The young and beautiful "spare"...Muddying the waters is Michael’s need to fit in and partake of the succulent fruits on Laricon’s human slave tree--including Alyssa, a willing sex slave he's forced to take as his own. Now he has two women counting on him, and the fate of a world.

Nina's goal is to get out...No matter what it takes. Nina is appalled by what she experiences in Ligeia at the hands of the evil Laricon, but what if the price of her freedom is Michael's life? Can she live with herself if that happens?

Excerpt: “Who are you?” Laricon said softly, looking at his nails and not at the beautiful, naked girl in front of him. “Nina Stanley...sir.” Michael felt the bottom drop out of his stomach as he peered through the glare and smoke at the blonde. No wonder she was so familiar! He knew this woman, and although her hair was different, and she was a few kilos heavier, he had fantasized about her for the past six years. The day got a lot darker as he wracked his brain about what to do. Laricon smiled, still studying his nails. “Nina Stanley, the quick learner,” he said. “I’m Jerold Laricon, The Great Man here in the Ligeian settlement on the moon Titan.” He stepped back half a pace. “Teeth, Ed.” Ed Walker checked Nina’s mouth, more to test her cooperativeness than anything else. She’d already passed the medical scan or she wouldn’t be here.Laricon stood up and reached for Nina’s taut nipples, taking them between thumb and forefinger. She trembled and growled deep in her throat, showing her unwillingness, but didn’t struggle. Laricon raised an eyebrow as he began to apply pressure to the sensitive buds. Nearby, Michael gritted his teeth and tried to appear casual, though he could see the girl’s pain level begin to rise. He always hated these demonstrations, but Laricon delighted in them.

Patricia, do you have anything specific that you want to say to your readers?

Yes. Never buy a book from a resource other than the main online distributors. If the site is a pass-through site (taking you to Amazon or Barnes & Noble, All Romance eBooks, the original publisher's site, or another big distributor), then it's okay. But if the site is giving away the book for free off their servers, or they're charging a ridiculously low price that's different from Amazon and will be downloaded from non-Amazon servers, you've landed on a pirate site. Thesepirates are thieves. They buy or somehow obtain a PDF copy of a writer's book and then re- sell it or give it away for free. This might sound like a real deal to the average reader, but when you consider the amazing viruses attached to these pirated books, it isn't so appealing. Plus, the books are stolen. There is no pretty word to attach to it. It's theft. If you partake of these offerings, you are just as much a thief as the pirate.Please don't obtain books illegally. All writers copyright their work, and that does not give anyone else the right to copy the book without written permission. You are taking money right out of an author's pocket. How would you feel if someone walked up to you and reached into your purse to take out a dollar bill. Sure, you might have other dollar bills, but that thief would tell other thieves, and soon all your dollar bills would be going out faster than coming in. That's whathappens to authors when they're pirated.
